Blue Jays at Yankees 8/19/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

AL East Division rivals will clash on Sunday afternoon, when the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees wrap up their series from the Bronx. On Saturday, the Blue Jays were outclassed during an 11-6 loss. Justin Smoak had two hits and drove in his 60th run of the season for Toronto, who has lost three games in a row.

Rookie left-hander Ryan Borucki (2-2 3.29 ERA) will make his 10th career major league start for the Blue Jays. Toronto has won each of Borucki’s last four starts and he has allowed ten runs over that stretch. The New York Yankees are 31 games above .500 overall and own the second best record in the majors. On Saturday, SP Luis Severino (16-6) got back on track by striking out eight batters and allowing two runs over five frames. Rookie of the Year candidate Miguel Andujar hit his 20th home run and drove in three runs for the Yankees, who trail Boston by 10 games for first place.

Former Toronto SP J.A. Happ (13-6 3.86 ERA) will make his fourth start as a member of the Yankees. Happ has won his three previous starts with New York and has given up just four runs in 19 innings of work.
